I will if you keep bringing it up. @Kempton Have a word boss. As proven in court, a cycle helmet is of use for low speed, low impact, beyond that, it's more likely to cause an impact due to the momentum of the extra size and weight, false sense of security and perception of protection, as well as the risk from the straps. Americans found that parachutists with helmets suffered more injuries and fatalities than those without, largely due to snapped necks from the strap. If you're so sure of, and understand the pros and cons of the helmet, presumably you wear one when walking, as that's when the arguments for its use are more valid. If you don't wear one when walking, then without realising, you recognise their limitations. If real head protection is the goal, then the appropriate head wear would be a motorcycle helmet, as they are designed for the sort of impacts you mention.
50 mph I was hit at. You’re talking nonsense. This is my last post on helmet use. If you want to keep on adding more nonsense, then knock yourself out.
Unless you wear a helmet for walking, and a motorcycle helmet when riding your bike, your logic is flawed.
This is getting confusing. I often ride my bike whilst parachuting. Should I wear a helmet at all and if so what type ?

Thank you. It’s going to be a long process I think. Finger, hand and wrist movements are pretty poor at the moment. Still it’s only been 2 weeks since the accident.
It can often be the mental scars that can take the time, plus you need to remember that you won't pick it back up at the level you were at before your 'break' (pun intended)
I know. Over the next 2-3 weeks I’m going to try and find a bike to stick on my turbo trainer to keep my legs spinning. I have Zwift, so should be able to manage one handed for a while. It’s not like being outdoors though.
